LMU Lion Families

This group of New Yorkers will soon be traveling to the bluff as incoming first-year students! We loved meeting them and their families and can’t wait to welcome our newest Lion Families to LMU in the fall. Go Lions! 🦁

Bring a picnic and friends to enjoy free Shakespeare on the Bluff performances under the stars at LMU! Join us on July 18–20 for the epic tragedy “Troilus and Cressida,” a tale of love and relationships during the Trojan War. RSVP requested: https://linktr.ee/lmualumni

1979: Donna Summer, ABBA, Earth, Wind & Fire. Michael Jackson. 1979 summed up the eclectic mix of style and culture across the country. The turn of the decade ushered LMU into a new era of style too!

The Class of 1979 is celebrating their 45th milestone reunion on Saturday, June 8.
Will we see you there?

A special thank you to committee members:
Janice Burrill ’79
Ann Holmquist ’79
Donna Meade ’79
Joseph Zirbel ’79.

Celebrate API Heritage Month with fellow alumni and friends on May 18 at LMU. For more information on the inaugural event and to register, visit us at: https://bit.ly/3JuOQzr

1974: The year Barbara Streisand hit the top of the charts with "The Way We Were"; Elton John’s “Bennie and the Jets” soon followed. Denim bell bottoms were still in-style, and no one could say otherwise. 1974 was also the year LMU celebrated its first graduating class since the Loyola University and Marymount College merger.
The countdown to LMU Grand Reunion begins! We can’t wait to welcome you back on Saturday, June 8, 2024 and induct the Class of 1974 into the Golden Lions. Here’s to celebrating, reconnecting, reminiscing and make new memories: https://bit.ly/4aFpfjq

LMU Families: are you on the bluff this weekend? Let us know what you're most looking forward during LMU Family Weekend! Will you be attending the Lip Sync? Participating in the 24-hour Film Competition? Or perhaps celebrating your senior student at the Senior Family Toast? Let us know in the comments :)

How do you ignite a legacy of impact for generations to come?

We think of our legacy families who have — for generations — continued to bring Lion Pride beyond the bluff. We can’t wait to welcome you back to the bluff for the Legacy Family Pre-Game Reception where we will cheer on our men’s basketball team before they take on the University of San Francisco. Join us for a fun evening of food, spirits, and great company, as we honor you and cheer on our Lions to victory!
